Craig's Rossing advances to state in tennis

The Janesville Craig High senior won two matches at No. 1 singles at the Division 1 Badger Sectional to earn a spot in the WIAA State Tennis Tournament that begins next Thursday at the Nielsen Tennis Stadium in Madison.

“She was down 2-7 in the tiebreaker and came back,” Craig coach Bill Peyer said. “And she had an interesting first set. (Nelson) did not have the power Kaylee is used to playing with, and that gave Kaylee some trouble.”

“It was a big day for her,” Peyer said. “Plus it’s her birthday, so we were hoping it would go well.”

Two Janesville Parker High players lost in the first round to fall just short of state.

Becky Harmata lost to Sysouvanh, while Meghann Hoag lost in the No. 2 singles title match to Jessica Inman of Sun Prairie.

Milton’s No. 1 doubles team of Zyann Furseth and Maddie Erdman advanced to state thanks to a fourth-place finish at the Badger Sectional.

Lake Geneva Badger’s doubles team of Joanie Williams and Andrea Chironis won the title at No. 1.

At the Division 2 Whitewater Sectional, Walworth Big Foot/Williams Bay had three players advance to state. Annie McGrail finished second at No. 1 singles, while the doubles team of Natalie Boldger and Morgan Grunow advanced thanks to a fourth-place finish at No. 1.
